"God did this so that ... we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." Hebrews 6:18-19 (NIV)
After explaining God's promise to Abraham, and the oath that He made unto Himself because there was nobody greater to swear by, the author makes it clear that our hope is embodied in Jesus Christ Himself. It is to Him that we flee and take refuge during times of trouble. He offers us protection and security. He is our anchor.
We should be encouraged by the knowledge that where ever we go, Jesus has gone before us, and The Holy Spirit will be there with us. God will never leave us or forsake us. There is nothing that we go through, that we go through alone. Our hope is steadfast and secure because He promised to always with us, and He keeps His promises.
